Billy Joel on Why He’s Not Making a New Album and ‘Wasn’t Surprised’ by His CBS Concert Special Snafu: ‘I’ve Always Kind of Been Cut Short by TV’
Billy Joel opens up about his concert being cut short, working on new music and being camera shy.
He filmed “Billy Joel: The 100th Live at Madison Square Garden — The Greatest Arena Run of All Time,” the CBS concert special in April that celebrated his milestone show, at the end of the decade-long residency. That was a TV audience, and it was done in Los Angeles, which is a showbiz town, and it was all based around their presentation,” he says, noting that closing out the show as he did meant people were leaving during the performance. When airing the special, CBS accidentally cut the broadcast short, right in the middle of Joel’s performance of “Piano Man.” They later apologized.
